Many people say that the tenth month of pregnancy for a woman is the best time to enjoy treatment. However, as the baby is about to give birth, some things are beginning to emerge. During the entire pregnancy, various family conflicts that couples have not reached an agreement and have avoided will become increasingly acute with the birth of a child. For example, the purchase of daily necessities for children; "Who will take care of the pregnant women and their confinement? These worries have come to a point where they have to face and solve.".
1、 Typical psychological characteristics of couples undergoing labor
1. As the due date of delivery approaches, the physiological changes of pregnant women are becoming more and more significant, and they are not mentally prepared for unexpected situations. For example, pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), edema, headache, and various physiological abnormalities in late pregnancy; Redness, abdominal pain, early delivery, etc. that occur before the due date of delivery; The associated psychological anxiety will continue to escalate.
2. "In October, the baby was conceived and delivered once.". Emotions such as the expectation of a new life, the expectation of a boy or girl, the excitement before reaching the finish line, and the excitement of being a parent are particularly high. Poor handling can exacerbate tension and fear.
3. Fear of labor pains is the biggest concern for most women. "Because all the information disseminated by the media is like a woman's voice exploding during childbirth, and there is little positive publicity for natural childbirth, pregnant women are very afraid of unbearable pain.". During the entire pregnancy, pregnant women pay a lot of hard work, but when they think of the time when the greatest fear they face is coming, they become more anxious, irritable, afraid, and worried.
2、 Coping principles
1. Choose a scientific and suitable delivery method. Decide on your own delivery method based on full consultation. Don't hearsay or act willfully; There have been scientific explanations and many mature coping methods for the problem of labor pain; To supplement these popular science knowledge, do not increase your anxiety and fear because of ignorance.
2. Be prepared for this emergency. "Although it is natural to" ripen and ripen ", not everything happens as people take it for granted.". Preparation for labor and hospitalization at any time; Personnel, goods, etc.
3. Undetermined matters must be resolved as soon as possible. The principle is that on the basis of equal consultation between husband and wife, if agreement cannot be reached, the true wishes of pregnant women should prevail. For example, whether the husband is accompanying the child (here we can expand the psychological analysis of the husband's accompanying the child: the plot of a big husband, not having to prove that I love you, worrying about sexual dysfunction, worrying about exposing my fears even more than my wife, etc.), who will take care of the baby, accommodation arrangements, financial arrangements, and so on. In fact, there is no absolute right or wrong solution to such conflicts, nor is there an absolute way to achieve the best of both worlds. The principle is "If there is no better, do it" because once a decision is made, people will greatly reduce their anxiety.
